radios can tolerate up to 15V and transmit more efficiently with higher
voltages. Most radios should not be used for transmit below 11.7V. Connect
a volt meter to the output of the Booster when adjusting. If using very long
cable to the radio , take account for voltage drop, then put the meter near
the radio and adjust to the maximum voltage the radio can tolerate while in
receive mode.
